Squeeze Centre and web caching

So I spent some time a long while back working out how to make my Squeeze Box Server / Squeeze Centre to work with the enforced web cache / proxy required by my previous ISP

What you’re looking for is the server.prefs file line:

webproxy: proxy.example.com:8080

This caused me some aggravation to find, so I hope it will help you.

And indeed, now it’s no longer an issue I’ve found a better way to do this!

I didn’t actually set it in the file as shown above, I added the following two lines at the top of the init script:

export http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:8080
export https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:8080

which seemed to do the trick.

However, you’ll note that the ‘Network’ plugin has the option to specify the proxy…… doh.
